Mandago's wife: Women eyeing my husband, your time is up

The ex-county chief, however, successfully ran for Senate seat on UDA Party ticket in the August 9, 2022 polls.

"If you were drooling over my husband during his tenure as governor, I wish to tell you that your time is up. He is now fully mine [without any pressing gubernatorial duties]. It hasn't been easy to manage the county. I now thank you, the people of Uasin Gishu County, for returning him back to me," said Lucy.

Mandago, in his speech, thanked Lucy for the support she gave him during his tenure as governor.

"I want to thank my wife Lucy for her support over the last ten years, it has not been easy. When you're a young leader with a young family, you need a strong wife to run the family while you're busy with public life," he said.

Jonathan Bii, the new Governor of Uasin Gishu County, vied on UDA ticket, getting 214,036 votes against independent candidate Zedekiah Buzeki's 127,013 votes.
